Data Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS, Inc.) is a Systems Integrator for American Megatrends (AMI) providing our customers with un-parralled support and services. DSS, Inc. provides design, implementation/integration, on-site installation and after market support services.

The AMI StorTrends 1300i is a dual dialect storage appliance that offers both NAS and IP-SAN storage in a single, affordable appliance. Ready for use as primary storage in existing Ethernet networks, it also features iSCSI support, enabling block data from applications like Microsoft® Exchange, SQL Server and Oracle® to be deployed or stored on the same server as traditional file services and storage. Ideal for either primary or secondary storage, it provides enterprise-level features at a price that is attractive to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

AMI StorTrends 1300i Datasheet/Specifications
The AMI StorTrends 1300i comes preinstalled with dual dialect StorTrends iTX software, which enables transfer of both block and file data over the existing Ethernet network. It provides advanced disaster recovery features such as synchronous, asynchronous, snapshot-assisted and journal-assisted replication, failover, and failback. StorTrends iTX also features high availability grouping, network teaming support for load balancing across its dual Ethernet ports, UPS support with write-through caching, advanced snapshots, SAN and NAS snapshot scheduling and advanced caching for IP-SAN appliances.

The Volume replication of the AMI StorTrends 1300i allows data to be stored on multiple StorTrends appliances at multiple sites, for high availability and disaster recovery in the event of a catastrophe. Its advanced snapshot capability features Redirect-on-Write (ROW) technology with near-zero degradation when writing or rolling back snapshots, achieved by reducing the number of I/O operations by a factor of three. Administrators can schedule up to 1,022 read-write and 1,022 read-only snapshots per volume, and up to 2,048 snapshots per box. SAN snapshots are supported through Microsoft® VSS snapshot technology, or by specific agents for application servers such Exchange Server and Oracle. Microsoft® VSS-based snapshots also support SQL Server and agent-less LAN-free backup.

Advanced caching improves read and write-back performance, and allows for efficient I/O scheduling, while I/O aggregation significantly improves snapshot performance. Target caching support also significantly improves performance, and the UPS support featured in StorTrends iTX enables the automatic switching of the target cache mode to write-through in the event of a power loss. The reliability of the AMI StorTrends 1300ai is rounded out with hot swappable hard drive bays with SATA support and a redundant 450W power supply.

ManageTrends™, AMI's Storage Management Suite and web-based GUI interface, discovers and manages StorTrends appliances deployed across the network and assists in analyzing and tracking enterprise wide storage usage. ManageTrends monitors the storage and storage-related events, provides a detailed analysis of the storage usage and the availability of the storage servers.
